Pistons vs Magic It’s Gonna Be A War
The one thing we know about playoff basketball it can get testy. The Orlando Magics were shoved and pushed around in Game 1 as the Detroit Pistons used their head games to get under the Magic players skin. It worked pretty well as Orlando struggled in all phases of their game.
Fast forward to tonight and the Pistons once again will be talking and trying to get into the Magic players heads again. Will it work this time? I seriously doubt it as Orlando is a team that has been together and they have seen highs and lows this year. Dwight Howard is the key to this series. If he keeps his head in the game than the Magic have a good chance in this series.
Howard is young though and sometimes he loses his focus and that is what the Pistons are hoping for. The other key is Orlando must hit their outside shots especially from the three-point line if they hope to give the Pistons problems. The other big factor is Rashard Lewis who will need to step up and take some of the heat off Dwight Howard. Tonight’s game should be very interesting and starts at 7pm so check it out.
